Day 1307

This is an amazingly bountiful little yard: tall rows of corn, a couple of fruit trees, and all kinds of vines stretching around back. It was too dark to see the vines well, but here's what they looked like a year ago.

at the finish line of the Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race. He's the fourth person to finish the race this year, and is treated to the same victory songs and ambrosial cake as everyone else who completes the 5,649 laps of the block within the allotted 52 days. (The horn-like sounds you hear when people start cheering are made by guys blowing conch shells.)

Ashprihanal was the first to cross the finish line this year, and did so in record time: 40 days, 9 hours, 6 minutes, and 21 seconds, more than 23 hours faster than the previous record-holder.

Day 1307

I'm walking every street in New York City.

This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
